1. Don’t tear off the foam until after the puff color is finished. If you get foam “crumbs”
peeking through the embroidery, you can make them shrink away by using a heat gun.
2. Slow the machine to 900 SPM, or so for the puff color.
3. A larger needle, such and an 80/12, helps to make larger perforations so the foam tears
off more easily.
4. Thread and foam colors should match. Fewer stitches can be used to cover the foam
without it showing through. Foam comes in about 15 different colors, so match as closely
as possible.
5. The foam is washable but avoid over-drying in a hot dryer. Do not dry clean garments
that have puff embroidery. Doing so will dissolve the foam.
6. The foam is usually available in several thicknesses 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm.
